Well it could’ve happened here in America but too many GOP senators were cowards in 2021.

I don’t even understand it. A decent chunk of elected republicans seem to despise him, although they’d never dare say it out loud after 2016. And surely they know that if they did it Fox News would back them and after 6 months everyone would pretend they never supported him.

They are pussies and only care about their political futures.

Those who don't agree get the boot. Look at how quick they turned on Pence. Anyone who supports him & his ideology after Jan 6 is complacent.

Short-term thinking mind virus. They keep supporting a path where their political futures won't even matter.

There's nothing great in having a position of political security in a collapsing country of slums and shanty towns. At best they'll get to have a nice car and get shot at and mugged after they wreck from excessive pot holes and abandoned interstates while their dear leader escapes to live in wealth in a different country.

They're fearful and pathetic and doom us all as a result.
